? Info about free Tuition at UDC ?

Published

I recently received an email:

"If you know of anyone between 18-28 years old, interested in the nursing field, University of the District of Columbia (UDC) is offering FREE tuition, FREE books, a $250 monthly stipend, and guaranteed job placement as a nurse at Providence Hospital upon graduation (it's a 3 year program) with a starting salary of $40,000."

Can anyone tell me more about this program. . what's the catch? Or maybe what are the admissions requirements? I know with that kind of deal there must have been alot of people inquiring about it. . any information can help.

Thanks!

Specializes in L&D, QI, Public Health.

That program has been closed for nearly a year now, if not longer. I would just doublecheck with them to see if they're re-opening the program

admin note: this program has been closed for over 2 years. please do not waste your time looking into this.

Specializes in None yet, but O.R. intrigues me.

My first semester Fundamentals professor read that to us back in September, 2005. She read it because she had to and then scoffed, "Why would anyone take a nursing job for $40,000?"

Seems that to the uninitiated it sounds like a great deal, but in reality you're trading off huge potential earnings for a relatively small grant. I think there was some kind of post-graduate commitment (is that what you meant by three years?)
